@feerrenrut

From #1785 (comment) on PR "Make the Read status bar command copy its contents on third press like Report window title"

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Find an empty status bar
  2. Press NVDA+end (desktop) or NVDA+shift+end (laptop) 3 times

Pre-existing behaviour (other features)

We should try to be consistent with existing features here, or make them consistent

Report title: On an application with not title, pressing NVDA+t 3 times you get "no title application" copied to the clipboard and that is also what is announced, ie "no title application copied to clipboard"

Mark start, mark end, copy range: with NVDA+F9, then NVDA+F10 twice. I am not able to think of a situation where you can create an empty selection and copy it.

Actual behavior:

When the status bar is empty and the read status bar command is triggered, blank is reported. When pressed 3 times, nothing is announced.

Expected behavior:

I think something should be announced to acknowledge the command in both cases. In the first perhaps "no status bar information" in the the second "unable to copy status bar to clipboard"

I would suggest that in the (rare) case of a blank application title being copied, the behaviour should match.
